guestdvp 18 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 One of my biggest challenges is finding new ways to comfort myself or manage stress without food. I walk, nap, browse the forum, drink tea, etc...but i'm struggling to find additional ideas to avoid cravings. Would love to hear other coping strategies!! Link to post Share on other sites

Or journalling - this one's particularly good for seeing the patterns/triggers that set you off. Link to post Share on other sites
